Key Factors

Favors Over

THE BLITZ projects the Chiefs to call the 5th-most plays on offense among all teams this week with 67.6 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
The Kansas City Chiefs have run the 8th-most plays in the NFL since the start of last season, averaging a monstrous 60.2 plays per game.
The Kansas City Chiefs have played in the 2nd-most "bad weather" (rain, snow, or 15+ mph wind) games in the league since the start of last season, which should mean higher pass volume, reduced running volume, and improved pass game effectiveness when facing better conditions in this game.
The weather report calls for 4-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing efficiency.
Opposing teams have averaged 39.6 pass attempts per game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense since the start of last season: most in football.

Favors Under

Mecole Hardman's ball-catching skills have declined this season, with his Completion% decreasing from 74.8% to 62.5%.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense has yielded the lowest Completion% in the NFL (52.6%) vs. wide receivers this year (52.6%).
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has given up the 10th-least passing TDs in football to wide receivers: 0.85 per game since the start of last season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers safeties grade out as the 3rd-best unit in the NFL since the start of last season in covering receivers.
The Kansas City Chiefs have been faced with a stacked the box on just 9.3% of their plays since the start of last season, least in the league. Positioning an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the cost of better passing efficiency.
